Get well soon and let us know what the Dentist tells you.

I don't have that fear, I have dentures and I eat hard, crunchy and soft chewy stuff until it sticks. No breakage yet.

Ouch...sounds painful! Don't feel bad, my MIL once pulled off a cap with salt water taffy! She wouldn't touch the stuff for a long while after that, but then she gave in 'cause she loves it too much! :-D

If your dentures do break or if a tooth happens to fall out. Can you use super glue?..........LOL


no offense Jingle :)

Don't bet the farm on dentures not breaking - I have an upper partial that's only about 6 years old and teeth have broken off BOTH sides! :evil:

Spose I have to make an appt and see if this can be redone or have to get a new plate - hate to tho, 'cause this fits really great..

PS - YES you can use super glue!! That's exactly what the dentist did when the first tooth broke off of this plate! So when it broke off again and when the second piece broke off, I used super glue... just be careful :wink: :roll:

Well, I am back from the Dentist. He is going to pull the tooth on Wednesday.

You poor woman! I really feel for you. I've got dentures & jsut got a tooth replaced today due to ot breaking in half. I crunch on ice all of the time, so it is a wonder it has not happened before now. I'll be thinking of you on Wednesday. :wink:

OMG. Sorry that happened to you. Doesn't sound like any fun. I remember one time one of my co-workers and I were out to lunch and I bit into a sandwich and the crown on my front tooth came off. I was mortified. Luckily, it was just my friend and I and not a whole group of people, and especially lucky, I didn't swallow the dumb thing. Stuck it back on, called the dentist who said he was just on the way out to play golf. I told him I thought he could wait a little while and fix my tooth. He was nice about, glued it back on and I haven't had any trouble since, thank Heavens.

Thanks everyone, I am not in a lot of pain. Except when I bite down wrong. Then it's like a jolt of electricity shooting through me.

I can't wait to have this tooth gone.
